Off the red carpet, TheWrap reports that filmmakers at the fest are at a loss for words when asked about the new allegations thrown at Roman Polanski. If you haven't heard, British actress Charlotte Lewis has come forward and stated that Polanski molested her when she was 16. Why now? She says it's because of those who believe he is a one-time offender.

Reviews from Cannes: After the Happy-Go-Lucky life of Polly, Mike Leigh is back with Another Year, which Variety says "is almost about nothing at all and yet it gently juxtaposes the big issues of everyday life: loneliness and love, selfishness and kindness, birth and death."
